Chocolate Mud Bars with a Peanut Butter Oreo crust – these bars are rich, decadent, and dangerously delicious!
I will never forget the time we had our neighbors over for mud bars. It was sometime last summer, and the memory is forever ingrained in my mind. Let me just start by saying we love our neighbors dearly – we are so lucky to have wonderful neighbors on either side of us, with kids the same age as ours and adults we enjoy spending time with. But that’s not what makes that night so memorable.
No…..the reason I will never forget the night of the mud bars is that, by the time the neighbors left, our living room was covered in them! There were chocolate crumbs everywhere, and gooey chocolate smeared all over the coffee table and furniture. It actually had nothing to do with the 4 kiddos eating them (okay, maybe not nothing)…. but it was mostly because of the bars, themselves! They couldn’t have been more of a crumbly mess – not exactly what I had in mind!
But. They did taste delicious. So delicious, in fact, that I knew I needed to make my own (more delicious, less messy) version of them! After a few crumbly tries, I’m happy to say that these Peanut Butter Oreo Mud Bars are some of tastiest bars I’ve ever made! Partly because you really can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate….and partly because they’re actually magic bars in disguise (and you really can’t go wrong with those, either!)
Now that we’ve perfected the mud bars, it may be time to have the neighbors over for dessert again. But this time, we might eat it outside….just in case the crumbly mess had more to with the kiddos than I realized! Anything is possible…..!

My favorite combo is peanut butter and chocolate. I have to say I’ve never seen peanut butter Oreos but now I will be on a mad mission to find them…and make these bars ASAP! What a perfect Summer treat!
These look awesome, Cath! I’ll bring the drinks, you bring the mud bars 🙂
Mmm I saw those brownie marshmallows and was pondering what I could make with them. These sound like a great choice!
You don’t have to convince me how good these taste! I can tell just by looking at them! Totally irresistible! Although, chocolate crumbs all over my carpet tends to drive me to drink! These might just be worth it though.
Ugghhh those look delicious! Totally my kinda dessert, thanks for sharing 🙂

These bars look HEAVENLY Cathy! Pinned!
I just tried to make these and both times the oreo bottom just completely fell apart. I even tried to use more butter to get it to stick together in the second batch but I had no luck…I don’t know if I did something wrong, or this is just really difficult…
Yum, these look delicious! Just pinned them! 😀
